Angel Reese explains herself over viral clipboard-smacking incident

In a post to her X page after the game, which Chicago narrowly lost to Washington 81-79, Reese explained herself. Reese said that it was “in the heat of the moment” and noted that Crosby told her not to apologize for it.

“Those ---- were p-ssing me off,” Reese said, in apparent reference to the referees. “Shoutout to Ann because she know it was the heat of the moment and she didn’t let me apologize because she knew! Not happening again tho.”

Reese, 23, was just selected to her second career WNBA All-Star team and holds season averages of 13.2 points, 12.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.6 steals per game. But the Sky continue to struggle in the standings and are now 5-13 overall, which is the second-worst record in the league.

Additionally, Reese has been extremely unhappy with the way that her team is being officiated and recently aired out a complaint about the refs over social media after another loss by the Sky. From the looks of it though, Reese’s days of assaulting local clipboards now appear to be over.
